Democrats Using Huntsman’s Comments Against Republicans

by Stephan Tawney on August 23, 2011

And to think some people wonder if Huntsman, a former employee of the Obama Administration, is really a loyal Republican.

What, you hesitate to make him your nominee just because he worked for Barack Obama, supported cap-and-trade, and his anti-Republican comments have been used by Democrats to attack our side? Clearly you’re a right-wing fringe weirdo.

The DNC sent out an email this afternoon highlighting Jon Huntsman’s negative comments about his fellow GOP candidates from his interview with ABC News’ Jake Tapper on “This Week.” The email is entitled “Don’t take our word for it” and seems to take a swipe at Huntsman’s ties to President Obama as well as the belief that he is too liberal to be the Republican nominee.

The DNC email uses Huntsman’s words against his “fellow” Republicans. It cites him saying his “fellow” party members shouldn’t be trusted with the economy, are too fringe to hold the White House, and saying Republicans are “anti-science”. And the email provides direct quotes for each charge.

The Democratic Party and your friends in the Obama Administration would like to thank you, Jon. Maybe they’ll send you a nice fruitbasket or something. So thoughtful of you to help the Democrats keep Barack Obama — your most recent employer — in power for another four years.
